Wouldn't even come close to running 3D games.

It would be ok for classics & 2D fighters.

Post by: P-chan on June 01, 2012, 12:57:45 pm: Is there a point to wanting to use the chromebox for a mame machine? If your goal is small and quiet, I would much rather have an Acer Revo or something similar :

You can also put together a computer with a mini itx motherboard. For a couple hundred, you can get a 2Ghz system running off of a thumb drive. Small, silent and fast.

Post by: CoryBee on June 01, 2012, 02:57:40 pm: My thoughts exactly. For cheaper you could build a rather decent pc.

I'd actually find it more likely for MAME to run the C64, not the other way around. :)
